| 摘要： | The American Bridge Company at Ambridge, Pa., constructed, in 1927, a steel hull measuring 169.8 feet long, 38.9 feet wide and having a depth of 6.5 feet for the Carnegie Steel Company, which had contracted for the new towboat in 1924. Named Monongahela, the vessel was completed at Coal Valley, Pa., and was a sister boat to the City of Pittsburgh. The engines were rated at 1,400 hp., pow-ered by steam from five return flue boil-ers. The compound condensing engines contained cylinders of 18 and 36 inches with a stroke of 8.6 feet. The sternwheel was 26.5 feet in diameter with 16 buck-ets having a dip of 38 inches. The pitmans that connected the paddlewheel to the reciprocating engines were named "Col-onel Charles A. Lindbergh" and "Spirit of St. Louis." Ownership of the boat was changed to the newly formed Ohio Barge Line in January 1941. The original offi-cers included Capt. John Hottell, master; Capt. William Timmons, pilot; William Herd, chief engineer; and Rolla Rodgers, mate. |
